A couple (and the wife's mother), otherwise besottedly in love, are haunted by their fear that their young son may not be the father's child, but the result of the mother's brutalisation at the hands of a group of soldiers.
Notes
The story is set 'at the end of the Much Greater War', but the mention of swastikas makes it clear that this is a World War II story, rather than a World War I story.
